Topic: Boba Fett sweatshirt ERROR!!

so it came to my attention the other day when i was looking for fabric to match fetts colors and i say to myself, why am i thinking i have him on my back...so i take my sweatshirt off and look at the picture and it clicked in my mind that the colors were off so heres my prblem. yes the colors are off and are supposed to be but the outline to the black visor was yellow ornage...not reddish and it raised an even worse question in my mind...am i wearing a Jodo Kast sweatshirt instead of a Boba Fett? anyone else notice this because i know a few other people on the board have this sweatshirt.

Re: Boba Fett sweatshirt ERROR!!

Oh yeah look at their helmets. The helmet on the sweatshirt has the dent on it. Kast's helmet does not. Boba's does. That dent is from the reek when it tried to kill Jango. Therefore, that helmet on your sweater has to be Boba.

Yeah but look Boba's helmet has the paint scraped off, jodo's doesn't, and the sweaters does have it scraped off. Add it up, its Boba Fett. If the part near the visor came out orange it was a mistake, but it's intended to be Boba.

I love that sweatshirt! I've been eyeing it on eBay for awhile, and the unanimous consensus of the various vendors selling it new with tags is that it's Boba Fett. Not that they would be Fett experts or anything, but I'm guessing that it says so on the tags.

I think it is supposed to be Boba Fett and the manufacturer just got the color wrong, either through carelessness or deliberate choice. Maybe the rust-color was too hard to print or something.

That is not exactly what I ment. They simply would not make a shirt of Jodo Kast, for the same reason that they would not make a shirt of Luuke Skywalker, IG-72, Ailyn Vel, or Plo Koon. Most people do not know who they are.

First time i looked I thought u were saying Luke skywalker isn't well known, then I saw the second U. But you're right about that, most people don't know who those people are. Unfortunately in all honesty most people don't know who Boba Fett is. We are watching ANH in film analysis at the moment, and since we are watching the "extra super duper secret remastered edition" with Boba and Jabba meeting with Han in Mos Eisley. My teacher pointed out that it was an added scene, and 90% of our class didn't know who Boba was when he mentioned his name.

I think it's purposefully washed-out because everything from Hot Topic is supposed to look all artsy and punkish and old-school.... As if it's been through the laundry way too many times because you bought it vintage. Or something like that.

That's a really good point! I was just in Hot Topic last weekend and that's a good description of a lot of their shirts and sweatshirts. Maybe it's "supposed" to be all faded.

Whew--that makes me feel better about wanting it. After reading this thread, it was really beginning to bother me that the colors were wrong. Not that the average person on the street would know any different, but...
